Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 937: Chapter 558: Elegy of Sorrow (Part 3)

The Bai family and the Wen family waited on opposite sides of the operating room, clearly divided, with Elderly Mrs. Bai glaring at Old Mrs. Wen as if wanting to kill her!

Three hours later, the lights went out. As the operating room door was pushed open, both sides rushed forward anxiously. The doctor glanced at everyone and said expressionlessly, "The surgery was relatively successful. Whether the patient can get through the critical period depends on his will. If he wakes up in twenty-four hours, everyone can rest assured."

Bai Yanji was pushed into the intensive care unit once again.

This time, Elderly Mrs. Bai wouldn’t let Old Mrs. Wen inside at any cost. At the moment she saw Lawyer Li, she guessed roughly what Mr. Bai had done.

However, during this critical period, she dared not make a fuss and couldn’t do so either. The only thing she could do was to keep the Wen family thoroughly outside the door.

...

Two days later, Bai Yanji regained consciousness. Members of the Bai family took turns visiting him, but besides speaking to Bai Shaoqiang and Bai Zixing, he ignored everyone else.

After this event, he realized completely that the Bai family was ruined by him. If he hadn’t been soft-hearted, how did the Bai family end up in such a predicament?

Since he acknowledged his mistakes, there was no need for him to return to his former life. From now on, he chose to be an ordinary old man and didn’t wish to involve himself in anything else, primarily because he couldn’t even if he wanted to.

A few days later, the headline of Sha City Metropolitan Newspaper: "Has the Wen Family taken over the Bai Family’s assets, true or false?"

The headline of Sha City Daily was: "Long-standing grievances settle in one day, Bai Yanji voluntarily gifts assets to his sister!"

Other newspapers’ front-page headlines echoed this story, but the majority leaned towards Wen family, while Sha City Metropolitan Newspaper, a private newspaper, stood as the Wen family’s opposition leader.

Or perhaps, it’s trying to gain fame using this method, who knows.

The townsfolk’s discussions about this incident were full of noise and chatter. For a time, both the Wen family and Bai family were thrust into the spotlight amid further revelations of Bai Xue’s bribery case, pushing the Bai family into total passiveness.

Elderly Mrs. Bai was so angry that she stomped her feet. She knew this was all authorized by Mr. Bai, but what could she do?

Mr. Bai simply ignored her, and given his current situation, if she were to truly pick a quarrel, this family might completely fall apart.

After a period of gloom, Old Mrs. Wen finally recovered. No matter what, her brother’s life was saved. Recalling her brother’s previous instructions, she proactively called and invited Bai Shaoqiang and Bai Zixing to the Wen family.

Bai Shaoqiang is the one who contradicted Elderly Mrs. Bai that day, currently forty-five years old, the youngest son of the Bai family, approximately 178 cm tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, resembling Bai Yanji somewhat, with not a trace of Elderly Mrs. Bai.

Bai Zixing is twenty-three, approximately 176 cm tall, with fine eyebrows and eyes, scholarly in manner, currently a first-year graduate student at Sha City S University. When Mr. Bai was hospitalized, he had coincidentally traveled elsewhere with his mentor.

Since Mr. Bai previously left instructions for the father and son, they were not surprised by Old Mrs. Wen’s invitation.

As soon as the father and son entered, Old Mrs. Wen rose to greet them, holding their hands while being overcome with emotion, while Bai Shaoqiang and Bai Zixing comforted her.

Inviting the father and son to sit down, Old Mrs. Wen earnestly said, "Shaoqiang, Zixing, if there’s anything in the future, just speak up. As long as the Wen family can achieve it, there will never be any objections."

Old Master Wen promptly expressed his attitude, "Indeed, from now on, your father-son matters are Wen family matters."

Before the father and son could speak, Wen Song, Wen Bai, Wen Tong and several younger generations, summoned back specifically by Old Master Wen and Old Mrs. Wen, expressed their stance one by one.

Yes, even Little Pumpkin expressed his views, although he originally wasn’t included.

As the discussions among everyone concluded, Bai Shaoqiang finally had the opportunity to speak, "Aunt, Uncle, brother and sister-in-law, brother, nieces and nephews, both Zixing and I are very touched, really. However, we want to achieve what belongs to us through our own efforts, and we hope everyone will understand."

Old Mrs. Wen looked at him with gratification, "Shaoqiang, rest assured. The Wen family has its principles. Today, calling you over is to let you know that the Wen family is your family too. Should you encounter difficulties, tell the family so we can share the burden, okay?"

"Thank you, Aunt!" Bai Shaoqiang hesitated for a moment, then looked at everyone, "There’s something, although not particularly honorable, I feel I should still mention it."

Father entrusted me to Aunt for the real reason that my biological mother is not Wang Meifeng. This was once candidly spoken by her during a quarrel with my father, and it is an open secret within the Bai family.
